Today, I started reading Beauty Salon by Mario Bellatin, translated by Shook.

This book was recommended to me quite a while ago, and I finally picked it up at a bookstore recently. It’s a very short book, but I have a feeling it’s going to take me a long time to read because it’s very sad. All the same, though, I’m glad I started reading it since I’ve been meaning to for quite a while. It’s an excellent translation, too. After reading so much young adult fiction last year, I’m trying to make an effort to read literary fiction more often. It takes longer, but I think it feeds my writing in a different way than young adult fiction does.

How were you creative today?
